    Life has been hectic for last few days.. Work going fine.. Was nice to have a chunk of time off though to relax. Got a new car at the weekend, pick it up this week, got insurance for £154 fully comp, so chuffed to bits with that.. Sold a few bits on eBay, made about £20 or so.. Still hunting round for alternative jobs a bit closer to home, or more money. Never know what might be out there.. Hope everyone is doing ok, thanks for popping in. X

    Ooooh what did you get? :cool2::dance:
    DEBT FREE AND PROUD:D

    I haven't been in here for so long! Life has been manic and so much has happened..

    I got a job, hated it, left it. I'm not a quitter, but I couldn't bear how I was treated there..

    I've spent a good few months working out what I want to do and applying for a load of jobs and getting nowhere, but my luck changed last week and I got offered an ideal job.

    Buuut it doesn't quite cover our outgoings so for the next year whilst I'm paying silly childcare costs, we have to budget like mad..

    I'm also renewing my weight loss efforts and would just love a place to chart it all..

    Thanks for reading x

    Feeling happy I've come back to track progress. My debt owing figure has changed after I updated five months worth of payments and I'm determined to get rid of this debt now ASAP..

    Logged back into my survey sites to start doing these agin, they'd fallen by the wayside as every night was spent job hunting or filling in applications.

    Nearly got £10 amazon voucher from one, plus I've taken £24 from top cashback in amazon vouchers. I'm determined next year all birthday and Xmas presents will be paid with vouchers.

    Have a good day all.. Wet and a bit miserable here, hoping the weather cheers up so we can go to the beach for a kick about with the littlies

    Well woke up in the night with massive toothache, so it looks like I have a dental bill coming..:-(

    Apart from that, sold a few things on eBay and had a fairly quiet day.

    Life has taken a few twists and turns in lat few days. We can't afford for me to take the job, the childcare costs v what I'd get would leave us £600 out of pocket. It's crazy as I want to work.

    Anyway we've also restricted our one outstanding debt to a lower apr but over a longer period. Still determined that's it's gone way before then, but at least it lifts the monthly pressure somewhat.

    I haven't been here for ages.. That thing called life getting in the way. Anyhoo I am determined 2013 is my year to do so many things and get life on track for being better.

    I took the job in the end despite it meaning we are out of pocket.. The full extent of which I'll know in January when I have a proper pay packet..

    I'll explain more when I have time, but for now, weight loss starts tomorrow and finance management is being stepped up a gear..

    Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. X
